Nothing looks more ridiculous than saluting without a hat on - unless it's saluting without a hat on with a cup of Starbucks in your saluting hand!
Now that's funny.

Yes. They should also not be allowed to breath or sneeze near passengers. What a stupid comment

Style over substance

If that is so, why aren't more airline types getting the call from Hollywood?

If I had a butt-flap, it would be the perfect pilot onesie.
The bag was nice of course, but during my days you couldn't wear it through the gate; and I seem to remember wearing choker whites on occasion too...what was the purpose of that crazy neck thing on the chokers?...if you answered "tradition and appearance" well now we are on to something!

Exactly, end of story...you wear the uniform that you agreed to wear by taking the job. Very simple!

I think it was originally to protect against sword cuts, as were epaulets.
